The AI Nomad Hustle
🤖🏖️

Welcome to Friday, nomads!

Japan Airlines has hopped on the AI video bandwagon, using Google Veo 2 for “stunning” new in-flight content – decide for yourself. L’Oreal is also in bed with Google’s AI smarts on content, and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has pledged it all to his own AI in his latest, wildly-long shareholder letter (because he needs billions of dollars to keep on investing in it).

ChatGPT now remembers everything, better, from previous conversations (unless you’re in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein – data laws). The end of repeatedly reminding it how you need something done? We shall see.

Let’s get into it!

🗣️ WHAT THEY SAID

🔥 HOT HOT HOT

It’s official: Canva’s making serious moves on the all-in-one creative and campaign OS.

This week – not long after some awkward AI layoff news – it dropped its biggest update yet at Canva Create 2025. The shiny new Visual Suite 2.0 bundles AI-smart whiteboards, websites, spreadsheets, and presentations into one slick workspace. Translation? No more 27 tabs or juggling five tools to get your pitch deck, campaign board, and microsite done. It’s an AI-powered control room for anyone who thinks visually but works across everything.

Standouts? Magic Studio, killing it on the copy matrix and localisation in one hit, and Canva Sheets, a spreadsheet tool that doesn’t feel like punishment, turning data into branded dashboards you’d actually be proud not ashamed to show a client. Magic Charts makes numbers pop into visuals like magic (literally), and Canva Code lets you build sites and widgets without knowing how to code – because… generative AI. Oh, and there’s a voice-enabled creative assistant now. Just say what you want, and watch it go.

This one's big for indie founders, remote marketers, and digital nomads who need to move fast, look pro, and not get sucked into tool chaos. (Canva)
